Hmnn pimpin... 100kw 5cy goes well to, nice torquey and easy to drive. Have you seen it in the flesh at all Alex?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Give him a call, go give it a once-over and if it's functioning to what you'd like, bid away!!

[madglf3]

I reckon go for it mate, you don't still have the steelies do you? This would be 4x108 though wouldn't it?

[Jarred]

doooooooooooooooo ETTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

providing it stay's cheap, i rekcon it's all go. unless its' got major rust/running issues.

the old 5+5's are pretty bloody wickid i reckon!

check out GAP for specific parts. you'll probably find alot of parts are similar to later model audi's with 5 cyl's & mk 1 golf.

I can't comment too much on the 5cyl's really, never had one.

I'd prefer it over my audi, just cause it's cooler! :P

[Golf Houso]

2.3L 5cyl is in like 1/2 the 80's and 90's around its a very popular engine, the 20v 125kw one is the one you want though :biggrin:

[Retired]

Thats an awesome car! Do it!!! Slam it on some widened steelies or some BBS RS and you would have an awesome looking daily.

[revnit]

sit that thing on 20s and it'll be pimp!!!

[KI11Z]

huh? how is that constructive to my thread . . . . :duh:

[GoLfMan]

i recon go for it, should be pretty bullet proof! :)

[GOLFBALLS]

Yea man just get the cooling system checked for leaks with the pressure tester. A lot of the plastic water flanges (and metal ones) will be cracked and corroded if they havent been recently replaced.
Might wanna check the water pump history out too.
Does that engine have the fixed exhaust manifold??? If it does, and its cracked, that'd be a bitch to fix.

I suppose all the wheel bearings, CV's and stuff would be all standard '80's VW/Audi parts so shouldnt be too pricey or hard to get.

There was an old Audi 100 for sale here last week for $100. Gotta find that number:duh:.....

[revnit]

In my opinion the standard wheels don't do the car any justice a nice set of new rims will make it stand out and look a lot better (hope thats better :) ) and just add parts availability will be about the same as getting parts for your mk3 few places you can go spring wood mechanical or Imparts.

ot.

You gotta tell me more about this!

[ChrisR32]

If you are buying it for a run around, I would avoid at all costs and get something jap or aussie.

If you are serious about wanting a reliable daily driver that won't be too expensive to keep running there may be better choices around (albeit not as cool as an old Audi). Even if you can get spares there may be considerable waiting time if you have to source from overseas.

[Greg Roles]

You could always drop a VN V6 in it, and get your spares at K-mart....

I KNOW THIS! But i just cant bear the thought of it :cry: a damb rock and a hard place :duh:

check it for service history and all that. test drive should let you know if anything serious is developing.

perhaps get a mechanic or even RACV check.

[Jmac]

Did anyone on here buy this ole girl???????

[KI11Z]

naw, i didnt get a chance to go and hav a look :duh:
